It’s so much fun to share in the joy new parents experience in those first few weeks with their newborn baby, and when I can deliver photos they love to help them remember every moment, it’s even better! Brand-new mom and dad Abbey and Ian are absolutely in love with sweet Nora, their newborn baby girl—and with good reason. This precious bundle of joy is every parent’s dream with her whisper-soft skin and darling features. I couldn’t wait to work with them to plan a photo session that would result in family portraits they’ll cherish forever!
Grinning from ear to ear, mom and dad happily show off their new little princess—and it’s clear to see the joy that fills this young family’s hearts as they snuggle their little one near.
CREATIVE NEWBORN PHOTOS WITH NATURALS & NEUTRALS
Abbey and Ian love all things nature-related! They love being outdoors, and when they can’t be outdoors, they bring nature inside. For their photo shoot with baby Nora, we opted for neutrals accented with pretty feminine touches to show off their baby girl.
When choosing colors for your newborn photo session, you’ll want to keep a few things in mind:
- Neutrals are always your friend! When you choose a neutral color scheme, you can select a few of your favorite accent colors to help you coordinate with your already existing décor.
- Be sure to think about the color scheme in your home and in the rooms where you’ll be most likely to place your photos. When you coordinate with your décor, you’ll end up with a lovely addition to your interior design.
- Neutrals are timeless and will never go out of style, plus they are flexible and allow you to mix and match all your favorite outfits and props.
- Every baby looks beautiful in neutrals!
THE TREASURE OF FAMILY PHOTOS
Family photos are a gift that will last forever. Even after baby Nora gets old enough to go to school…and then college…and then get married, the family will always be able to look back on these precious, heartwarming moments of when it all began.
As mom plants a loving kiss on Nora’s head, she closes her eyes as if sealing this moment into her memory forever. While Nora will grow and giggle and toddle soon, this precious photo will always remind mom of those very first days of the softest skin, the tiniest sighs, and the sweetest cuddles.
PROUD NEW DADDY
The smile on his face says it all: this is one proud and happy dad! Ian is over the moon for his newborn baby girl, and as he holds her snugly in his strong arms, it’s pretty easy to see he’ll be her protector, her rock, and her sounding board through all her growing up years—and then some!
PROFESSIONAL STYLING FOR YOUR NEWBORN PHOTOS
One of my very favorite things is talking to new parents, figuring out what types of designs and props they love, and then styling unique sessions for every tiny client. The Andrea Sollenberger studio is filled with the softest fabrics, blankets, and wraps—plus you’ll be able to choose from props, backgrounds, toys, and headbands to get a one-of-a-kind look for your baby’s newborn pictures.
In this photo, baby Nora rests soundly in the comfiest nest that looks like it came straight from the outdoors! Surrounded by a lovely ring of white flower blooms and nestled onto a soft, pillowy blanket, she snoozes soundly wrapped in an off-white muslin swaddle. A white-washed wide plank floor adds a charming vintage effect to this photo, and of course, Nora’s headband is perfectly matched so she looks like a tiny, sweet flower in a peaceful garden.
THE BEAUTY OF TEXTURE
This closeup of precious Nora sleeping soundly in a nature-inspired nest is the perfect example of how textures and slight variations in color shades can deliver captivating results. Nora is swaddled in a light cotton wrap that is textured with tiny circles, and she’s resting on a superbly soft and furry blanket that works so well against the dark brown sticks that form the basket. Even the background has mixed shades of neutrals and hints at an antiqued texture that adds even more natural effect to this picture.
Adding to the cuteness factor, just look at her tiny hands peeking out of the top of her wrap! Details like this are so important when you’re planning newborn photos, because all of Nora’s teeny tiny features are things her parents will want to remember forever.
TRANQUIL MOMENTS WITH MOM
Soak up every moment you can while they’re tiny and wrapped up in your arms! These days fly by so quickly, and it won’t be long before Nora’s little toes will peek right out of that tiny baby wrap.
This is such a gorgeous photo of mom, and both she and baby Nora look so peaceful as they rest nestled together on a soft, wooly rug. Captivating in a long ivory dress, mom looks completely at peace as she snuggles little Nora close and closes her eyes in a dreamy expression.

SWEET DREAMS, SWEET NORA
Nora is already showing off her natural beauty! Born with a birthmark between her eyebrows, we could have easily opted to airbrush that out of her pictures. But Nora’s mom and dad wanted to remember her exactly as she was born…COMPLETE PERFECTION! (After all, everyone knows that’s an angel kiss…and you have to be pretty special to get one of those.)
Little Nora is simply adorable, and I had so much fun working with her and her mom and dad! She is definitely the apple of their eye, and it’s such a pleasure to be able to deliver a newborn photo collection they’ll be able to look back on and love for years to come.
